I noticed that temperatures are different all over the world. Is anyone else familiar with this phenomenon?

 

Yup, I recently noticed that. The tides also change. Amazing!

 

My "ICY" comes on at 37 degrees.

 

oh wait, i thought that meant you had to much bling in your car.

damn that makes SO much more sense.

 

Mine came on the other day... when I checked the temp it was 32 so I know it was some sort of warning that the road might be icy.

 

I have yet to see this "ICY" (thats Texas for you.)

 

Since I live in Calif., my Z only reads out "SUNNY"

 

Hah, that's what I thought, until it dipped to 37F a few nights ago and I - for the first and probably only time - saw the ICY warning as well. Its not supposed to ever get below 50F in West LA

 

+1

65 degrees, medium rare bbq filet mignon...life is good!

Oops! Spilled the daiquiri!

Damn little umbrella!

 

Kalifornia FTW

 

I wish I could turn that function OFF ! Or, I wish it would at least just flash an ice warning and then go back to the mph. My problem is, I'm cruising along on an arterial at about 37 mph, then I speed up, but I look and still see "37". Next thing I know, I'm going 40 or 45, and then I notice that it's not 37 mph but rather 37 degrees ... I think it's a good warning, and I really like the temp option (when I select it), but I don't like the way the ice warning just trumps the speed reading.

 

Wow... no contest... has it ever happened to you before? Will it be just OK when it thaws??

Down here in the tropic it is hard to even imagine this...

C.

 

doesn't anyone read their owners manual anymore?

 

I live in N. Cali and I go to work early morning. My Z says ICY and the outside temp is about 30F-33F @ about 6 AM.

 

Haha , please tell me you are jokin

 

55 degrees this morning. I had the icy warning go off and had no idea what it was ...

 

Will the temperature gage read negative?

 

I think mine is broke. 3 days ago mine said 1....ouch. It comes on when the temp is 37 degrees but does not mean is icy but only possible. You still need moisture right?

 

again, read your frickin owners manual. it explains in there why the stupid icy warning comes on in the first place. and for those too lazy to look, i will paste it for you:

The outside air temperature mode includes a low
temperature warning feature: below 37°F (3°C),
the outside air temperature mode is automatically
selected and the ICY indicator will illuminate
in order to draw the driver’s attention. Press
the mode switch A if you wish to return to the
mode that was selected before the warning
occurred. The ICY indicator will continue blinking
as long as the temperature remains below
39°F (4°C).
The ambient temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected
by road or engine heat, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may differ
from the actual ambient temperature or the
temperature displayed on various signs or billboards.

 

My icy warning has been coming on a lot lately. The temp. here this morning was 31 degrees.
